I love me some ETB shenanigans, and being able to double up on ETB triggers out of the command zone just seems bonkers. This is a rough draft so far, and I won't be able to test to get any real results until it's released on MTGO, but at least I can try and get some feelers out there to get a streamlined build to test from.
Just doing a few pre-testing card swaps for some things I missed out in the initial list, Birthing Pod being one of the big ones I missed. Displace/Ghostly Flicker should do some good work here, not only to save some creatures from spot removal, but more importantly to reuse their ETB triggers. Sire of Stagnation will still double up on triggers from Yarok, and Villainous Wealth as an outlet for potential infinite mana, and can be reused with Eternal Witness.

I played a few games tonight, and I must say, when the deck goes off, it goes off!
Guardian Project may have to get the axe, as it is not a may ability to draw, so I almost decked myself trying to go infinite mana with Drake. Had to Rec Sage it to get it off the battlefield, and then Wealth'd for about 43, but only cast a Timetwister to shuffle back my library. Lifeline did work as usual. Thinking about dropping some nonbasics to make room for more basics for all the land searching I had to do.
Let me know what you think!
